Sound advice to enable enterprise to flourish


DESPITE its youth, the Ribble Valley Enterprise Agency is proving a wise counsel to many businesses. And not just those


needing a hand on to the first rung of the industry ladder, for increasingly, estab­ lished firms are rea­ lising the agency’s value, seeking help and advice — and giv­ ing their backing in


return. 1 Said director Mrs Chris


Rawlinson: “ We have found a lot of new spon­ sors over the past year. Enlightened businesspeo­ ple are beginning to rea­ lise that their own busi­ nesses will thrive better if the whole area is econom­ ically active. “The information and

referred to us recently by a wide range of sources apd the vast majority are amazed when we say exactly what we can do for them.”

Another good year in store for booming RibbleValley


LOCAL Member of Par­ liament David Waddington believes that the Ribble Valley is in buoyant mood. “ It has been a very good


bcesS:


year as far as industry in our part of the world is concerned,” he said. “The Ribble Valley Enterprise Agency, in particular, has done some marvellous


work.” Mr Waddington is confi­


dent that 1992, with the removal of European trade barriers, will be a very important year economic­ ally, for the local area as well as the country in


general. “ Firms are making


preparations in readiness for the single market, which should open up new opportunities for them and also increase healthy com­ petition in this country.” C h a n c e l lo r o f th e Exchequer Nigel Lawson

P a r ty ’ s tra d e union reforms have had a dra­ matic effect on the coun­ try and, in this respect, Mr Waddington had words of praise for the Ribble Valley. “The workforce in this


has, of course, chosen high interest rates to combat inflation — and Mr Wad­ dington defends the strat­ egy, which is bound to affect businesses, both large and small, as the c o s t o f b o r r o w in g escalates. “No one wants to see


interest rates remain as high as they are, but infla­


part o f the world has always had a good reputa­ tion, but there have been few reforms that have had as great an effect as the Industrial Relations Bill.” Mr Waddington believes


that 1989 will, indeed, be another good year for the


area. “The economy is strong


and we must look to build on that s tren g th ,” he declared.

advice we can provide erty prices and, with it, an covers finance, training, influx o f inquiries from grants, marketing, book- industries outside the area keeping and so on, in addi- considering relocation tion to'which we have set here. up a premises register.


Ever eager to try new


ideas, just one new ven­ ture which the agency came up with in the past 12 months was a highly- successful rural rewards exhibition held in July, which attracted over 2,000 v is ito r s and is to be repeated.


Turning to another new


project, Mrs Rawlinson continued: “We are put­ ting together a directory of local craft businesses and we will be looking to develop a Ribble Valley Guild of Designer Crafts­ men. It is at the steering committee stage as yet but should be launched fairly


go by.


Area’s future is in good hands


THE future of the Ribble Valley is in good hands — if the success of classroom tycoons taking part in the Young Enterprise Scheme is anything to


, Young entrepreneurs


from schools in Clitheroe and B i l l in g ton have received a solid introduc­ tion to the world of busi­ ness through the nation­ ally acclaimed scheme.


Large helpings of enthu­


siasm have been tempered with sound advice from Ribble Valley’s own “wise- men,” those already suc­ cessful within their own f ield o f industry and commerce.


The scheme proper was


introduced to Ribble Val­ ley schools in the autumn and results since have been quite startling.


Whether produc ing


magazines, badges or sta­ tionery packs, the teen­ agers involved have grown in c o n f id e n c e and initiative.


With a helping hand “The idea is to create a


forum for craftspeople to come together, to their mutual advantage, to help improve the status o f crafts, getting them recog­ nised as an important industry.”


A more traditional ser­


vice provided as usual throughout the year was the presentation of aware­ ness days for the Enter­ prise Allowance Scheme. They entail a mini start-up course, one day in length, for people eligible for a £40-per-week Government grant towards getting a new business o f f the ground.


It is c lea r that the


agency has made the most of the three short years since its launch. The future looks even more rosy — and that surely is g o od news fo r lo ca l industry.


from Ribble Valley Enter­ prise Agency director Mrs Chris Rawlinson, Ribbles- dale School has formed “Colour Collection,” Clith­ eroe Royal Grammar School “RGS Stationery” and St Augustine’s RC High School; Billington, ‘ ‘ B la ck and W h i t Publishing.”


F ol lowing the half-


yearly review of the class­ room companies, the shield for the best busi­ ness plan was awarded to the lattergroup. Later this month, all


three companies will be taking part in a Young Enterprise Trade Fair in Manchester's Arndale Centre. Eventually, after about


eight months, the com­ panies go into voluntary liquidation. Their final task is the preparation of company reports and pay­ ment o f div idends to


shareholders. The individual reports


drawn up by students of their activities are increas­ ingly becoming recognised as an asset by employers. Mrs Rawlinson, deputy chairman of the Hyndburn


and Ribble Valley Young Enterprise Area Board, is confident the scheme will expand in future years, bringing even further benefits to both students and the business commu­ nity alike.

continually discussing the problem and no doubt a meeting would soon be called to decide on further action. At the time of the peti


tion, residents claimed the situation was so bad at times that they had to “dice with death” in order to cross the A59. They said the traffic was


dividing the village and they called for a pelican crossing, but this was rejected by the Depart­ ment o f Transport and

gested the erection of roundabouts at either side of Gisburn in order to slow down the traffic, but the county council concluded that there was not suffi­ cient risk to public safety to ju s t i fy any major rks.

objectors was outlined by Mr Eric V. Lewis, repre­ senting the shopkeeper. He said their objections related to gangs of youths and th e l i t t e r th ey dropped. The premises, however,


were properly ran by Mr Payne, who had repea­ tedly asked the youths to move, so there was little else he could do. The litter found in the


street included fish and chip papers brought into the area. Mr Payne, he said


operated a very strict sys­ tem concerning the age of his customers and would not sell drink to them if their age was in doubt. He also refused to sell alcohol to those he suspected of b u y i n g d r i n k f o under-18s. Mr Lewis asked the


Bench to disallow the objections because there was not one person in court to object.

lysed by police officers at 4-45 a.m. while driving his car home along the Pimlico link road. Tests showed that he had 52 micrograms o f alcohol in 100ml. of breath, the legal limit being 35 micrograms. Mr Bill Greenwood,


representing Duperouzel, said that the defendant, who had been out drinking the night b e fo r e the offence, was a keen wild life photographer who had decided to visit Wadding­ ton Fell when he could not sleep. There had been nothing


wrong with his driving and he was stopped by police officers making a routine c h e c k , s a i d Mr Greenwood. D u p e r o u z e l , who


pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol in his breath, was also ordered to pay £15 costs.
